A Beginner's Guide to Fibre/fiber selection #7 BFL : eBay Guides

BFL, or Blue Faced Leicester in roving form.

Blue Face Leicester is a wonderful British breed, believed to have come originally from Hexham, Northumberland. The fibre is soft and has a small crimp effect that can give a slight texture to your work. It also has a lovely natural shine and I would say it almost quite similar to Shetland wool. I have used this fibre for both wet and dry felting, but it could also work wonderfully in your spinning.

Beginners to spinning may prefer this fibre to start out with, because it's long staple (hair) length gives strength.

Count: 23-28 micron/Bradford 56-60
Staple: 8 - 15cm

I hope this helps?
